Industrial-grade SSDs work over -40 to 85-degree C temperature range

Apacer is adding a new series to its comprehensive product line. The 3D TLC SV250 SSD is now available for buyers who expect the highest performance in industrial applications. Made with ICs sourced directly from Toshiba, it offers capacities from 30GB to 960GB, and up to 3,000 P/E cycles. It has impressive sequential read/write speeds of 560 and 520MB/s, respectively. It also functions smoothly in temperatures ranging from -40 to 85 degrees C. And its data protection system gives it durability and reliability, making it an ideal choice for high-load embedded factory automation applications, security monitoring systems and edge computing devices.

Early versions of 3D TLC NAND flash had issues related to data reliability. But Apacer’s SV250 series is protected against such issues, thanks to advanced algorithms including LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) ECC and DataRAID™. Apacer’s engineers also built in a variety of value-adding features, such as a power-saving mode, wear leveling, flash memory management, S.M.A.R.T. and Trim technology.

In the case of an unexpected hard shutdown, the SV250 series devices are protected by DataDefender™. This combination of hardware and firmware technology is designed to improve data integrity. When power disruption occurs, the hardware mechanism will notice and trigger the controller to run multiple write-to-flash cycles to store data. Then the firmware will check that the data was correctly written to the NAND flash after the power disruption and rebuild the mapping table, preventing data loss.

More and more industrial manufacturers are realizing the value of adding encryption technology to their devices. Apacer’s SV250 series devices are self-encrypting drives that are protected by TCG Opal 2.0, which uses the advanced AES encryption to prevent unauthorized access to data.

The 3D TLC SV250 series delivers an ideal balance of performance, reliability, and cost. They are available in various form factors such as 2.5″, M.2 2280, and M.2 2242, as well as being available in module form. Leading manufacturers are already adding them to their innovative devices to stay competitive and ahead of the market.
